Replacing meek: Snowflake

Thanks a lot Patrick for that entry! Unfortunately that’s not working currently since it’s lacking certain steps and there’s an another bug going on (if a workaround is known please let us know since it’s the only blocker to using snowflake):

sudo chmod +rx /usr/bin/snowflake-client 

is needed otherwise one gets a permission denied when tor tries to launch snowflake.

One also needs to add this line:

/usr/bin/snowflake-client ix,

to /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/tor and then reload apparmor using sudo service apparmor restart

(thanks to David Fifield for posting these instructions on
https:// trac. torproject. org/projects/tor/ticket/24203 )

Yet after all this snowflake doesn’t start and the reason is found when running /usr/bin/snowflake-client -h:

/usr/bin/snowflake-client: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.11' not found (required by /usr/bin/snowflake-client)

How can I fix this issue? Which package would need updating?
